Moving them into include/linux/kasan.h seems unnecessary and an easy
way to introduce unnecessary overhead. AFAIK, there should be no
difference between having them in the high-level wrappers and the
inner runtime functions. I think until we understand what is actually
going on and could thoroughly justify, I'd be opposed to larger
changes. The small patch here is innocent enough, but it'd still be
good to understand. (FWIW, I believe the issue was encountered with
SW_TAGS on a downstream kernel.)
